18 1/2 Philadelphia Film Festival Highlights
Because this is an equal opportunity Film (and Food) blog. I’m not going to ignore the fact that the Philadelphia Film Society is producing the 18 1/2 Philadelphia Film Festival, even though I have ties to the original producers of The original Philadelphia Film Festival, which is now called CineFest under The Philadelphia Cinema Alliance. Confused? Well, the reason the Film Society is calling it 18 1/2 is because they co-produced last April’s CineFest 09 as an agreement with PCA before the final split.

Toronto International Film Festival
I was in Toronto for Volver so why am I not there to see Pedro Almodóvar’s second vehicle for smoldering Penelope Cruz Broken Embraces? I have a friend who is at the Festival for business, I asked her to be my SMPT corespondent, but I don’t believe she’s going to write in. One day I will be the next Steven Rea, movie critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and I will be expected and paid to be at all the important film festivals. But until then, here a link to his blog coverage during TIFF (Sept 10 – 19th) http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/onmovies
